Present and future multifaceted plant diversity, uniqueness and conservation in the European Alps

This repository contains extensive data for the European Alps:

  • Observations of ~3,500 plant species
  • Climate (1-km), soil (100-m) and land cover predictors (1km); current and future scenarios (28 CMIP6-GCMs, 2 land cover change and 3 dispersal scenarios i.e., unlimited, no and realistic vegetation dispersal)
  • Flora migration rates (categorical) and ecological preferences (continuous indicator values)
  • Regional maps of barriers to migration and water bodies at 100-m resolution
  • Sampling effort, distance to roads and cities predictors at 100-m resolution
  • Present and future abundances over the study region at 1-km resolution (~2,000 species)
  • Present and future multifaceted and uniqueness of the European Alps' Flora at 1-km resolution
  • Present and future conservation recommendations at 1-km resolution (26 current and future strategies)
  • Phylogenetic data and functional traits of ~2,000 plants (raw data and classification trees)
  • All scripts, data and plots used for the analyses, including a singularity container (mini-linux) to run them
